Hi,
Hi Jun,
Welcome to the list ;)
I am a newbie here. I am wondering if there is a way to import files
into hippo repository as documents? What I am trying to achieve is to
pre-populate the repository with some documents for the editors to
review.
I've tried to use filesync tool, which gets my file up to the
repository. But they don't show up in the hippo cms as the filetype
wasn't set right.
So I used the setproperty tool to set the type, it now shows up as a
document but with no workflow associated with it, nor a UID.
The UID should be autocreated by the repository, but you have to set the
type yourself. The workflow is started when the document is frist
selected/opened in the CMS.
I suppose that I could manually set all the hippo-specific properties
except UID and index. But I am not comfortable of doing so, especially
that I need to find a way to trigger the index too.
The index is usually set by the CMS when you create a document. It
doesn't get set by the repository. We have a tool that creates/repairs
the index on documents and folders [1].
Have anyone encountered the same problem before? What is your solution?
Yes, it's quite common to do imports from other sources into the
repository. The best way to go is to write your own import tool, because
it's almost impossible to write a generic tool that takes care of all
the specific situations. We have several tools that do most of the
things you need like the filesync, dav2disk and repairindex tools. Most
of them are pretty straight forward. If you're not sure about what
properties to set feel free to ask here on the list.
Ps. Anyone can tell me how to do a search on the maillist archives??
That will be very helpful!!
You can try google[2] ;)
